Yeah, but I get free shipping!
Who's the dummy now?

I am Wee Todd Ed. I am Sofa King, Wee Todd Ed.

that *might* be the funniest thing I've read this week.

He'll just turn around and sell it for $130.02

Now what is going to be really funny is, when the envelope is scanned through some kind of anti-terrorism homeland security x-ray machine, and all the money is wiped off the card!!

HHAHAHAHAA!!

Yeah, but it's reloadable.

In other news, Nascar fans know how to use eBay

As Lewis Black would say...

"Wouldn't ya just got to the local Wal-Mart and huh ha!"

/nothin

So, who else emailed this buyer? I let him know I had a $50 gift card from BestBuy that I'd sell him for $55. I didn't mention FARK, but I let him know that the link was on a pretty well read website.

Winning bidder: nascarfan82088

It just so beautiful in it's own simplicity, that poor bastard is probably watching wrestling in his doublewide, wiping mayonaise off of his chin with a Walmart exclusive Dale Earnhardt commemorative beach towel, completely oblivious to the people making fun of him at his expense.

Just...beautiful

I would have bid, but I lost my Walmart. :(

Yeah, but its for WalMart, so he can buy stuff that would have cost $200 at other stores! Duh.

Two buyers bid over face value.

well, i for one think it is awesome that this made the front page.

I guess it was a good thing cottonpickinnig didn't win. or crazymuslim. or burritoboy23. or lightintheshoeslarry. Then we'd have to deal with those other sterotypes. Did I forget anyone?

You know - the ones you get your panties all in a twist about.

This incident was pretty funny until I read your post.

What? I wun that thar eboo thangy!
Yeeeeeehar! Fahr up the wagun, we'z goin uptown to the Walmart!

Atreyou40: You know - the ones you get your panties all in a twist about.

Nascar Fan isn't a race. Stereotyping based on what you watch on tv not only works fine, but it's funny as hell.

If Dale was a better driver maybe he wouldn't be DEAD.

what does Experation mean?

looks like the seller's none to bright either...too bad people aren't reloadable

lightintheshoeslarry!

Ha! I must go register that somewhere now

haha Zyklon B. Goode you win!

go to hell, do not pass go, do not collect redemption



;p ;p

I recall seeing this happen on the egghead.com auction site years ago. People would just get carried away by the thrill of bidding and submit bids above the retail price. The stupid this was that egghead had a retail web site and an auction website. Most of the items they sold in the Dutch Auctions were also available in the retail site. Some bidders never bothered to check what the retail price was when they placed bids.

For some reason egghead lost money and went out of business years ago even though they had people like nascarfan82088 placing bids.

I kid you not: do a search for "Gift Card" (in quotes) on ebay. The very first link I pulled up was this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31411&item=5537118959&r d=1

Followed shortly by:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31411&item=5537168851&r d=1

The second one's not quite as funny, but I still find it funny that someone is spending $50 on $50.

*jawdrop* O_o
So pathetic...

Oh come on now, it's still funny.

Though everyone knows NASCAR fans can't afford double-wides.

/The only thing that sucks more than NASCAR is WWE/TNA/ITLAH Wrestling
//(Insert Three Letter Acronym Here)

yeah Mikeyjoe18... i guess if idiots buy, why not? most of these cards are either stolen or aquired in bulk, so they'd be making profit UNDER face value...this is just the proverbial cherry on top... i ran into it a few months back looking for itunes gift certs....couldnt find ANYTHING that was even remotely close to a good deal and a good 2/3 of them were either right at cost or over--some significantly so. amazing...

4 more years!

I just love everything about this link. It makes me feel good in a way I didn't know I could. Thanks you, whoever submitted this link. Thank you...

Gee. You're right. "Nascar Fan" is not a race. Sure. and I am the Easter Bunny.

I guess you're suggesting black, Mexican, Pakistani, "Nascar fans" indulge in the following behaviors, and I quote:

"that poor bastard is probably watching wrestling in his doublewide, wiping mayonaise off of his chin with a Walmart exclusive Dale Earnhardt commemorative beach towel"

Denial is the moral relativists best friend. No white stereotypes there. You can go back to your dreamworld buddy. Let the realists duke things out here.

I see an image of the Virgin Mary on that card!

C'mon...go back even more in time, when it was OnSale. People would put little comments on their bids stating that it was getting close to retail, but the morons just kept on bidding higher...

These are the poeple that are resposible for Puting Bush in power to murder American troops, to get rich. But to support the other guy is a SIN

I so wasn't going to go there....although, these are the people that are voting on finanical issues. No wonder nobody cared about the deficit or Social Security.

I wish I were "Puting Bush" right now. Another thank you goes to haidux. Awesome is what you are.

Most of the bids on that look like bots jacking the price up.

It's kind of like Wendy's advertising on the big sign that they take VISA, nothing like financing a turd at 14%APR.

If Dale was a better driver maybe he wouldn't be DEAD.

Actually, what I find amusing about the former Mr. Earnhardt is that he publically called all the drivers asking better safety gear crybabies - just a short time before he died, due to lack of adequate safety gear.

Sometimes Fate is both cruel AND funny!

i think it cost's more than face value to buy a gift card,$5.00 bucks or so...........
still not worth the wait,unless your having it sent to someone else thereby saving postage and the couple bucks for the card.............

Whatever happened to just stealing stuff?

/gift cards are for suckers anyway

oh, and going to wally world,waiting in line ,buying the card and then going to the post office.

Big deal. Stupid people get caught up in auctions all the time. Common sense gets chucked in favor of "winning". At a local street fair (apparently when the real items were running low), they auctioned off raffle tickets. These tickets were available at practically every vendor and there were special vendor for them to boot. IIRC, they were $1 tickets (plus they had deals for 6/$5, etc.) that sold for 1.25 each. Idiots plain and simple.

It's a Wal-Mart card. It costs exactly what is on the card. You put $10 on a gift card, you pay $10.

/Was a cashier for 6 months. Has moved on to much better things.

I personally feel seatbelts and helmets should be banned from NASCAR.

what a moran.

oh........thats different then..........nevermind.

/hates walmart

Wait a minute hold the phone....there are 82087 other NASCAR fans who can use the intnerwebs?

I find it equally amusing when Farkers bash the intelligence of others using poor grammar.
